Hi Guys! I've been SO out of it lately. My reading slump lasted at least a month and half. Scrolling through and reading comments, building myself up through you all has helped me find my 1st love again. I'm about half way through my current read and enjoying it. This is what my lunch hour looks like today. I'm happy 😊

Finished this over the weekend and give it 4 🌟. Some parts made me cringe because of its graphic descriptions but it added to the overall, compelling listening experience. The narrator did a great job in bringing the story to life. This was my first read written by this author and I'll definitely be reading more of her work.

SO many other things I SHOULD be doing but I can't seem to peel off this bench with my current read and this gawgeous FL weather! ☀️🌴

I should be spending my Friday night doing homework but I much rather be doing this...😁

Stopped by to pick up "Little Fires Everywhere" on hold and couldn't resist "Crimes of the Father" on my way out ?

Next Up! Out of my norm but decided to change things up and give it a shot

Mermaids 🧜🏻‍♀️ and Books 📚 is all I need ☺

One of my favorite authors and poet. Her wisdom still resonates. Happy Birthday Dr. Angelou!

I've been feeling like I need a break from Sing, Unburied, Sing so I decided to get an early start on this month's book club read. I've never read any books by this author. Thoughts?

I'm typically always in the middle of two books. One self-help/inspirational/spiritual type book and the other is "hopefully" a great story I can get lost in. After listening to one of Oprah's podcasts, I knew I had to own these

Here's another one of those times... ?

"There's things that move a man. Like currents of water inside. Things he can't help.... Getting grown means learning how to work that current: learning when to hold fast, when to drop anchor, when to let it sweep you up"

Excited to dive into this one 😄

I have these moments sometimes where a quote will literally jump off the page at me. This was one of those times

Overall this was a good story but boy was it a struggle to stick with! Leni Zumas' style of writing made it hard to follow at times but I'm glad I stuck with it. Definitely a dystopian style of writing that seems not too far from our current reality. I recommend it only if you prefer the challenge.
